Now here's an offer you can refuse. I have a 2005 house with a pool listed for $218,900. The sellers built it last year, but illness forces them to return North when this home sells.   I got a verbal offer of $205,000 today, but here's the clincher! They wanted to offer this price AND have the se...

This weekend I got a call from an agent in Miami who was showing property in North Port. He was standing in front of my listing when he called because he did not have a lockbox key that worked in this area. Since I had another showing on that listing at 5 p.m., I was able to delay that showing un...

Does your office have too many meetings? Since our takeover, we seem to have something 2 or 3 times a week.  Agents are grumbling that they cannot be productive and lose a couple of mornings a week. Everyone is scrambling right now, and we feel annoyed when anything takes us away from finding buy...

I just started reading "The Millionaire Real Estate Agent" by Gary Keller. Aim high, it says.   At 64, I figured I would be able to just coast for a while and retire. Now I find myself being prodded and encouraged to work 'til I'm 90. Am I too old to aim for Mt. Everest?   Then I think of my gran...

I saw this idea on someone else's post a few days ago then I went to look for it to give credit to the person who thought of it.

For me, putting up a fence is a big decision. Fences are necessary to corral the kids and the dogs, but if you just want privacy, is a fence or a hedge better?   To maintain that campground, woodsy look I think layers of greenery is more soothing. Besides the wildlife can still walk through your ...

FSBOs are spreading like wildfire in North Port. To capture that market, we are trying to get our FSBO campaign rolling on a more automated basis. We've got our letters organized and keep adding to our lists.   What we're wondering about, is how long to send letters before you give up. Obviously,...

Yesterday, I was showing property to a prospective buyer. The price of $499,000 was not the issue. Their main concerns were the taxes and insurance.   Taxes will go up when the property is sold, but probably not at the full sold price. The insurance, however, is another matter.   The buyer is a c...

Yesterday I wrote about the auction I went to with an associate in the office. I have an interesting update to that story.  I was getting ready to go home yesterday and I made my last few calls before wrapping up the day. One call was to an agent in Sarasota (a neighboring town to the north) she ...

Has anyone ever attended an absolute real estate auction? I went to one this afternoon. It was quite an experience. An agent that sits next to me in the office said that she would be going to this real estate auction in the afternoon and invited me to join her. So we hopped in her SUV and away we...
